Default [REF] [RADIO] Mako modem collection

I've decided to try and compile a list of the available radios for the Nexus 4 so that people have a "one-stop" for all of them.

Unless stated otherwise, I've pulled all of these myself from either the factory images from Google's site, and packaged them up to be flashable in recovery.

Notes:
1) I have no idea what the differences are between the versions.
2) LTE is disabled in radios 0.48 and 0.54. If you want to use LTE, you need to use an older radio.
3) For those on T-Mobile who want to use LTE, see this post. Also see this for a recovery-flashable fix for no audio when using older radios on 4.2.2.
4) For advanced users: the radios from the Optimus G do also work to a certain extent, but they require kernel patches. See here.

Standard disclaimer: I take no responsibility if you mess up your device by flashing any of these radios.

These are flashable in a custom recovery. To flash using fastboot, extract the image from within, and flash that using: fastboot flash radio modem.img

Radio List (in order -- newest on top):

0.54 - Source: JDQ39E build on the Nexus 4 released in India. Thanks to eRajesh for dumping and posting it here. LTE is disabled on this radio.

0.48 - Source: JDQ39 OTA update. Note: there are reports that this radio breaks auto-rotation and auto-brightness functionality on 4.2.1 and earlier. No issues on 4.2.2 though. LTE is disabled on this radio.

0.33 - Source: JOP40C/D factory images.

0.27 - Source: Leaked LG testing build. See this thread. Thanks to houstonn for extracting and posting it here.

0.24 - Leaked JVP15Q image. See this thread. Thanks to houstonn for extracting and posting it here.


MD5s located on Dev-Host download page (when you click the link).

houstonn has graciously provided a mirror for the all the N4 radios for those times when dev-host is down. It can be found here.
I do NOT answer technical questions via PM. Post in a thread.

ROM: Stock JDQ39

Sweet thanks, was wondering about that .27 that review testers had before it got updated to the official 4.2 build. Gonna test out this .24 to see if it works better (not that .33 is terrible but i get some weird signal drops sometimes).

Hmm....I wonder if the leaked modem or the original(JOP40C) would help intermittent data loss issue most devs are running into after HSIC wakelock fixes? Lets try it out
Google Nexus 4(Unlocked)
Rom: SaberMod(6/12 build)
Kernel: STS 6/13

I would recommend the usual nandroid before flashing...
Not that that will probably help, seeing as it doesn't back up the radio

Flashed .27 and seems I was having "data stalls" - in that i mean if the phone was sleeping I didn't get alerts for data stuff (MMS/Google Talk) but as soon as I opened the apps they refreshed showing received a message some time ago.

I was having some signal drops (where the signal just disappears then comes back) on .33 so i flashed .24 (not .27 as i said above) to see if that would fix it. That's when i started getting data stalls (where it shows it was connected but i actually wasn't). Flashed back to .33 now and all is same again.
